3.2 Principle of operation

VEGACAP 69 is a point level sensor for use in aggressive liquids in

non-conductive vessels.

The double rod probe is fully insulated and highly resistant.

Probe, measured product and vessel wall form an electrical capacitor.

Thecapacitanceisinuencedbythreemainfactors.

Fig. 3: Functional principle - Plate capacitor

1 Distance between the electrode surfaces

2 Size of the electrode surfaces

3 Type of dielectric between the electrodes

The two probes are the capacitor plates. The measured product is

the dielectric. Due to the higher dielectric constant of the product

compared to air, the capacitance increases as the material gradually

covers the probe.

The capacitance change is converted by the electronics module into

a switching command.

VEGACAP 69 is a compact instrument, i.e. it can be operated without

external evaluation system. The integrated electronics evaluates the

level signal and outputs a switching signal. With this switching signal,

a connected device can be operated directly (e.g. a warning system,

a pump etc.).

Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".

3.3 Adjustment

The probe can be adapted to the dielectric constant of the product

directly on the electronics module.

A switching command can be triggered when the probe is covered or

laid bare.

Ontheelectronicsmoduleyouwillndthefollowingdisplayand

3.4 Packaging, transport and storage

Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its

capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test

based on ISO 4180.

The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-

friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE

foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised

recycling companies.

Transport must be carried out in due consideration of the notes on the

transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause

damage to the device.

The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit

damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or con-

cealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.

Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and

stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the

outside.

Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under

the following conditions:

•

Not in the open

•

Dry and dust free

•

Not exposed to corrosive media

•

Protected against solar radiation

•

Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration

•

4.1 General instructions

Note:

For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated within the

permissibleprocessconditions.Youcannddetailedinformationon

the process conditions in chapter " Technical data" of the operating

instructions or on the type label.

Hence make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument ex-

posed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.

These are mainly:

•

Active measuring component

•

Processtting

•

Process seal

Process conditions in particular are:

•

Process pressure

•

Process temperature

•

Chemical properties of the medium

•

Abrasionandmechanicalinuences

In general the level switch can be mounted in any position. The instru-

ment must be mounted in such a way that the probe is at the height of

the requested switching point.

Before beginning the welding work, remove the electronics module

from the sensor. By doing this, you avoid damage to the electronics

through inductive coupling.

Ground the probe before welding directly on the rod or cable.

Deviceswiththreadedttingarescrewedintotheprocessttingwith

a suitable wrench via the hexagon.

See chapter " Dimensions"forwrenchsize.

Warning:

The housing or the electrical connection may not be used for screw-

ing in! Depending on the device version, tightening can cause dam-

age, e. g. to the rotation mechanism of the housing.

Use the recommended cables (see chapter " Connecting to power

supply") and tighten the cable gland.

You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture

penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the

cablegland.Rainandcondensationwatercanthusdraino.This

applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas

where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or

on cooled or heated vessels.

To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is

closed during operation and locked, if necessary.

Metric threads

In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable

glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic

plugs as transport protection.

You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.

NPT thread

In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is

not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The

free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust

protection caps as transport protection.

Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-

proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.

4.2 Mounting instructions

Duetotheeectsofagitators,equipmentvibrationorsimilar,thelevel

switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do

not use an overly long electrode for VEGACAP 69, but check if you

canmountashortlevelswitchonthesideofthevesselinhorizontal

position.

Extreme vibration caused by the system, e.g. due to agitators or

turbulenceinthevesselfromuidisation,cancausetheprobeof

VEGACAP 69 to vibrate in resonance. If a longer rod version is neces-

sary, you can secure the probe by fastening a suitable brace or guy

directly above the end of the rod.

If inductive loads or stronger currents are switched through, the gold

plating on the relay contact surface will be permanently damaged.

The contact is then no longer suitable for switching low-voltage

circuits.

Inductive loads also result from the connection to a PLC input or

output and/or in combination with long cables. It is imperative that you

take measures to extinguish sparks to protect the relay contact (e.g. Z

diode) or use an electronic version with transistor output.

You can adapt the switching point to the solid with the potentiometer.

With the potentiometer (1) and the measuring range selection switch

(2) you can change the sensitivity of the probe to the electrical proper-

ties of the product and the conditions in the vessel. This is necessary

so that the level switch can also reliably detect products e.g. with very

loworveryhighdielectricgure.

6. Note the position of the potentiometer (1).

In some cases the lowest range (range 1 = highest sensitivity)

isnotsucienttoadjustthefullswitchpoint.Thiswouldmake

For this reason we recommend setting and noting the empty

switching point in all three meas. ranges. Set the meas. range se-

lection switch (2) to the next higher range and repeat the setting.

Also note the values for the next ranges.

7. Reset meas. range selection switch (2) to the next lower range in

which the control lamp lights green [lights red].

8. Fill the vessel until the probe is completely covered.

9. Turn the potentiometer (1) very slowly clockwise until the control

lamp lights green [lights red].

10. Note the position of the potentiometer (1). We recommend docu-

menting the value of the empty switch point and the full switch

point as well as the range.

11. If the control lamp does not light green [light red], then you have

to set the meas. range switch (2) to the next higher stage and

repeat the setting with the potentiometer until the control lamp

lights green [lights red].

12. Set the potentiometer (1) to the average value of the two noted

values.

The measuring system is now ready for operation.

1. Set mode switch (3) to mode max.

2. Set meas. range selection switch (2) to range 1.

3. Fill the vessel up to the requested level.

4. Turn potentiometer (1) to position 10.

When the control lamp (6) lights red: set the measuring range

selection switch (2) to the next higher measuring range.

When the control lamp (6) lights green: continue with the next

item.

5. Turn the potentiometer (1) very slowly anticlockwise until the

control lamp (6) lights red.

The measuring system is now ready for operation.

1. Set mode switch (3) to mode min.

2. Set meas. range selection switch (2) to range 1.

3. Lower the level to the requested min. level.

4. Turn the potentiometer (1) to 0, the control lamp (6) lights green.
